President’s Message: (Lois Scott) For 2009, quilting projects time has really passed quickly. It is now time to look ahead and plan for a new year. With the list of officers for 2010, it will again be another good quilting year. The new year will bring new projects, challenges and fun things to do. We are up to the challenge.
The quilt show is finally here. Two years passes so quickly. We plan and plan hoping that things will be all in order by opening day. We have had a wonderful group of ladies working and planning for this, 2009, quilt show. It will be fun but with lots of hard work to get everything ready for opening day. Then when it is over it will be a rush to get things back in order. You all have worked so hard and have helped with so many projects. I cannot begin to say Thanks enough for all you do. All of you have made the President's job so easy. I thank each of you for participating and helping Springhouse have a successful quilting year and a great quilt show. See you on show days: November 13 and 14. Lois
